email templates for Campaign Monitor: a 7-step preflight checklist

email templates for Campaign Monitor work best when the design, export settings, and campaign details are checked together. Use this checklist before every upload:

  1. Finish the responsive layout. Preview desktop and mobile versions in Mail Designer 365, checking type size, spacing, and button placement.
  2. Confirm links and calls to action. Open every link and make sure each button leads to the intended landing page.
  3. Add useful image descriptions. Clear alt text improves accessibility and helps when recipients block images.
  4. Export the finished HTML. Use the Mail Designer 365 export workflow so the email package contains the HTML and visual assets needed by Campaign Monitor.
  5. Upload to Campaign Monitor. Create a campaign, choose the HTML import option, and add the exported newsletter design.
  6. Review campaign details. Check the subject line, preview text, sender information, audience, and tracking settings.
  7. Send test emails. Test the imported design on desktop and mobile inboxes, then verify links, images, personalization, and unsubscribe behavior.

This workflow keeps email templates for Campaign Monitor consistent with the source design. If the preview differs from your draft, correct the layout in Mail Designer 365, export again, and replace the imported HTML instead of patching several versions.

Keep each Campaign Monitor template focused

Give every campaign one primary message and one clear action. A focused layout is easier to scan and test. Save successful email templates for Campaign Monitor as reusable starting points, while updating the copy, links, and imagery for every new send.
